Affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to make money online, and Twitter is a great way to increase your affiliate marketing sales. Just be careful so your Twitter experience is a pleasant (and profitable) one

Here are 7 tips that affiliate marketers should keep in mind

1. Be personal with your tweets. Don’t send out the same tweet over and over or to different people. If people are tweeting about needing holiday presents, don’t send, “Hey! Shop at my site www.blahblahblah.com” to everyone! Tweets should be personal, not canned.

2. Be genuine with tweets. Don’t try to be something you are not.

3. If you do send a sales link, send it as a natural part of the conversation. If you chat with people, eventually they will ask what you do (or you can drop subtle hints) – then you can mention it.

Twitter is an amazing & powerful tool that should be included in EVERY affiliate marketer’s strategy – done right, a single tweet can lead to hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in sales.
